Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)
Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
A Mesozoic myth: Dinosaurs didn’t rule the Earth like we think - Big Think
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
Audible – ~550,000
GoodNovel – Booktok, Stories – ~38,000
Nicotine Has a Bad Rap. There Might Be Some Very Good Health Uses for It. - Slate Magazine
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
Literie – ~19,000
It really depends on the country and category - numbers vary a lot. For example, in the Books category, here’s how the top chart apps rank by monthly installs in each country:
